They shall stop polluting themselves with idols and their other sins, for I will save them from all this foulness. – Ezekiel 17:23 TLB

Dear Lord, someone I love has become entangled in drug and alcohol abuse. Open his eyes, Lord Open his heart to receive the help he needs to break free from this entrapment. His life is a gift, but he’s in danger of losing that gift without Your intervention. May he call upon and depend on You for the strength and determination to overcome this addiction. Amen.

Lord Jesus, bless my hands and help me achieve with them what You have planned for me. Give my actions purpose every day. Cheer me on when things seem too difficult or I struggle to reach my goals. Please pick me up when I stumble and fall. Guide me in the right direction. I know I will be able to achieve much with Your help. Amen.
